Varaha Purana 113.50: Adhyaya 113, Shloka 50
Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
ध्येयाधेयं जगत्सर्वं यच्च किंचित् प्रवर्तते ॥ सप्तानामपि लोकानां त्वं नाथस्त्वमसंग्रहः ॥
dheyādheyaṃ jagatsarvaṃ yac ca kiṃcit pravartate || saptānām api lokānāṃ tvaṃ nāthas tvam asaṃgrahaḥ ||
Tu és ao mesmo tempo o objeto da contemplação e o fundamento de tudo o que é contemplável: este universo inteiro e tudo o que, de qualquer modo, entra em atividade. Para os sete mundos, Tu és o Senhor; Tu és desapegado e sem possessividade.
Pṛthivī (default, hymn-voice addressing Varāha/Viṣṇu in dialogue frame)
